Installation & Mounting
Select the desired mounting location for the lightbar. This product is attached with 1/4" carriage
bolts whose centerlines are 1.3" below the top of the lightbar (Figure 1).
Locate the bolts along the back of the lightbar. The number of mounting bolts varies with the
length of the lightbar. Place a mounting bolt near each end of the frame. Space additional bolts
evenly across the remaining length. Locate 5/16" diameter clearance holes on the vehicle to work
with the bolt locations. Locate for easy access from the inside of the vehicle. Locate and drill a
minimum 1/2” diameter hole for the control cable exiting as shown in Figure 2 below. Insure the
cable jacket cannot be cut by sharp edges.
Route the cable and the bolts into their respective holes. Attach the washers and nuts to the bolts
from the inside of the vehicle. Apply caulk to all bolts and wires at the point of entry.
